Key takeaway The number of languages without any Scripture is substantial.
Many languages lack Scripture translations. The number of languages without any Scripture is substantial. A significant portion of these languages are sign languages, which have numerous variations.
Deaf communities rely on visual content to engage with the Bible. They use video to experience Scripture in their native sign language. Further information on translation projects and their impact on Deaf communities is available from organizations involved in this work, such as DOOR International.
